Create a CacheManager from a Configuration in an inputStream in ehcache3

[soccergods]

I am currently migrating from Ehcache2.8 to ehcache 3.8.1

In ehcache2, I used to store my ehcache properties externally and brought it into an input stream and then created a cache manager using it.

Docs showing this is possible: https://www.ehcache.org/documentation/2.8/code-samples.html

However, in ehcache3, I don't see such an option to build it using an inputStream which to me seems like a cool feature to have. Am I missing something? I tried using the ConfigurationBuilder, the CacheManagerBuilder and a bunch of things but none of them seem to accept input streams to do the configuration. I only see it possible using resources objects. My properties files are stored in the db for easy access and I would like to continue using the same if possible.

One potential solution I was thinking is that I would parse my external file and them do something like "createCache" xyz and do this for the number of caches present, but I feel like there should be a more optimal way to do the same.

Found a way to do it in ehcache3 as well.

I used "org.w3c.dom.Document"

I've put the steps in this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63035809/can-i-store-my-ehcache3-xml-file-in-an-external-file

The gist is that I converted my input stream into a Document and then passed the document into the constructor of the XMLconfiguration object which can be used to set the configurations of the cachemanager in ehcache3
